✅ Tax-deductible donation • All auction proceeds go directly to Ras Tafari Inc.'s year-round community programming — Ital Marketplace, Healing Grove, Higher Learning Roots, Heritage Village, and the SelassieFest Main Stage. Every bid builds the community.
This list only shows restaurants whose donation has actually been confirmed through our Plates for Purpose program — not a wish list. More items get added here as more restaurants say yes.
